NatureScot have been on site to survey how the trees and woodlands are bearing up after a year of beaver munching. We were delighted to report that all the trees they had painted with anti beaver paint which contains sand among other things has worked 100% to date with no damage.
The Beaver Team at NatureScot are coming on site w/c 23/05/2022 to paint some more specimen trees and also paint some of those already painted a little higher up on their trunks as the beavers have grown a lot and could now munch above the paint! They are also going to give the club some more sturdy wire mesh to protect the young specimen trees as they can’t have their trunks painted until their growth slows down a bit.
It is great that the Club is able to enlist their expertise and help so we can co-exist with this protected species.
